With the preseason now shortened to three games, NFL teams are still figuring out how to approach each game. Traditionally, the third preseason game is the “dress rehearsal” game, where the starters play most of the first half, if not more. So does that mean the second preseason game is now the dress rehearsal game?
The Chiefs seem to be treating it that way: “We’ll go a half somewhere thereabout with the starters,” Chiefs HC Andy Reid said to the media on Wednesday.
So what does that mean for the Cardinals? Thus far, Kliff Kingsbury is being coy: “We’re going to do what we think is best for us and they’ll do what they think is best for them,” he said in his own comments to the media on Wednesday.
